Piko - Kids snap real objects and learn their Chinese words

by•
Your child photographs an apple and Piko recognizes it on device as 苹果 (píng guǒ), then turns the word into cards they can read, hear, trace and save. Every character can be explored four ways: reading, pronunciation, stroke order and the idea behind its shape. Discoveries build a personal word gallery, and spaced repetition brings characters back right when they're due. A playful way to make Chinese part of a child's everyday world, one real object at a time.

Hi Product Hunt! Piko is for families who want their kids to pick up Chinese from the world around them rather than from flashcard decks. Point the camera at a toy, a cup or the moon, and that object becomes the lesson. Recognition runs on device. We'd love to hear from parents and teachers about what helps characters stick.
